These are the players who have been exceptional with the bat in the ICC tournament and have scored tons of runs
1. Joe Root (England) – 5235 runs
The star batter has been in sublime form in red-ball cricket for quite some time now. Root recently played his career-best knock of 262 against Pakistan in Multan. This knock took him above the 5000-run mark in WTC with an average of 53.41 and 17 hundreds.
2. Marnus Labuschagne (Australia) – 3904 runs
The Australian batter has been sensational in red-ball cricket and has contributed immensely with the bat. Labuschagne has the highest score of 215 and a fantastic average of 52.05. He will be eyeing to score many more runs in the upcoming Border-Gavaskar series.
3. Steve Smith (Australia) – 3486 runs
The experienced Australian batter has been one of the best batters in red-ball cricket for a long time now. With an average of 50.52 and 9 centuries in the WTC so far, Smith looks set to break many more Test records in the coming future.
4. Ben Stokes (England) – 3101 runs
The England Test skipper is not only amazing with the ball but is also an absolutely fine batter who has carried the Three Lions to several famous Test victories. With an average of 37.81 and 7 hundreds in WTC, Stokes will be trying to break even more records in England’s upcoming Test matches.
5. Babar Azam (Pakistan) – 2760 runs
The former Pakistan skipper may have slumped to really poor form in red-ball cricket in recent times, however, he was in brilliant form throughout the first 2 WTC cycles. With an average of 51.11 and 8 hundreds, Babar has by far been Pakistan’s best batter in the ICC tournament.
